Architect Visit: Children's Rooms Roundup
From Julie
From Julie and Janet:
Architects are notoriously allergic to frill and furbelow; here's a roundup of some streamlined children's spaces by some of our favorite aestheticians. Note how the spaces usually involve a dramatic modern pendant light and a midcentury chair—an Eames rocker, a Platner chair, a Saarinen womb lounger.

It really is amazing what some great modern pieces can do to transform a room. I love the idea of giving your child a unique space where they can be themselves.
Wonderful site by the way.... I just started writing my own www.bmommy1.blogspot.com
any idea how to find the chairs in the Japanese kids room? they are great!
Love the space by Takeshi Hosaka!!!
these lovely rooms could all work for both boys and girls. I don't understand why parents (and designers apparently) are still so bound by old tradition - pink for girls and blue for boys = YAWN. colour has nothing to do with gender.
The Tord Boortje chandelier is amazing in the blue and white room from Cookie. Great design ideas for kids rooms!
